Bit disappointed by the book chat show special - some amusing moments, but mostly felt like an extended plug for the book. Which is great, btw - especially the audiobook, read by Coogan in character.

Is next week's Mid-Morning Matters new or just the stuff from the interweb?

Interweb stuff. But there's rumours of a brand new one-off I'm Alan Partridge on Sky Atlantic later in the year and of course the movie now confirmed (with Ianucci's involvement) for next year.

I was under the impression next weeks Mid-Morning matters was all new as it's 6, 30 minute episodes which is a lot more than the material made for Fosters last year.

Edit: Oh and I just noticed that a new Adam Buxton show starts next week after Mid-Morning Matters. Now all Sky have to do is bring back Fist of Fun and they will have the perfect retro (for the 90's) alt-comedy line up on our screens.

Was this a one off special then? Was expecting a second episode to be out about now (to download that is...)

First one was "ok"...30 mins too long as others have said and not actually a patch on Mid Morning Matters which I rate very highly.

@M83J01P97 - actually they recorded 12 Mid Morning Matters episodes for Fosters, each one about 10 to 15 minutes long. So if they are showing 6 x 30mins on Sky (plus advert breaks) it may well just be a repeat of those.

Looking at the viewing numbers on Youtube, MMM didnt get seen by as many people as it deserves anyway..."This tea tastes like chicken"

Hmm maybe, but I'm pretty sure Sky were hyping up all the Partridge stuff as being new and exclusive, so I kind of thought the Mid-Morning matters series was going to be the same format as the Fosters stuff, but expanding into 6 episodes.
